Ascending: rising or increasing to higher levels, values, or degrees
Butterflies: The change from caterpillar though to the chrysalis and emergence as a butterfly is the greatest change in the animal world. It symbolises significant change in the course of one’s life, personality or way of thinking.
Putting them together brings us on an upwards journey of change and transformation, isn't that what we all strive for?

WINNER ANNOUNCEMENT: The winner of Ascending Butterfly's first Book Club of the Month Selection, 'Perseverance' by author Carolyn Rubenstein is user 'Marianna', Congratulations!~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~As I've probably already mentioned, I have a hard time sitting still, so I thought I'd explore that today. I came across this quote:

"There is More to Life than Increasing it's Speed." By Mahatma Gandi

I need to learn to slow down and enjoy the ride more. I think most people do. We get so focused on where we want to be that we forget to enjoy where we are. So today, slow down, enjoy the ride and stop worrying about 'what's next'. Don't rush to tick off another thing from your to-do list, save one for tomorrow, trust me, it will still be there!

Use 'Today's Words of Inspiration' as a breathing meditation to still your mind, quiet your thoughts and bring in positive energy. As you inhale bring in only positive energy by saying in your mind, I breathe in positive energy (or you can say creative energy if that is what you wish to create more of) and as you exhale, Affirm out loud today 'I slow my pace enough today to enjoy the journey.'

Visualize yourself manifesting something unique, guided by universal forces that emerge spontaneously from within your soul. Do this at least twice today and see how by taking a moment away from the hectic pace and breathing in positive energy and affirming what you wish to create, your thinking will become different.

Remember, attitude really does determine altitude.
